High Standard Double-Nine Hombre W-105 .22 LR DA/SA Revolver, 4-inch Blued, 9-Shot, Hamden Marked
The High Standard Double-Nine Hombre W-105 is a distinctive .22 LR revolver from the 1970–1972 era, notable for its Western-style form paired with double-action/single-action operation. This 4-inch model features an aluminum-alloy frame with a steel barrel and cylinder, fixed sights, and factory wood grip panels with High Standard medallions. The barrel is marked "HOMBRE" and "HIGH STANDARD MFG. CORP. HAMDEN, CONN.
U.S.A."
Built on the W-105 series frame, this Hombre variant uses a swing-out, nine-shot fluted cylinder that is released by a forward under-barrel plunger. The combination of a blued finish, exposed spur hammer, and classic sight picture underscores its practical design and period-correct presentation.

This W-105 Hombre uses an aluminum-alloy frame finished in blued, paired with a steel barrel and a blued steel cylinder. The 4-inch barrel has no underlug, and the markings confirm Hamden, Connecticut manufacture.
